This is me three months after my son was born. I was 130 pounds and 5’8 before getting pregnant. I delivered at 217 pounds! I got alot of stretch marks, and even have a few light ones behind my knees! My stomach and boobs are ruined, but I would do it again! I just wish I could lose the rest of this weight, I wouldn’t care if my stomach looked like a tractor drove over it if I could fit into my old jeans!! LOL!
Hey, my twin! LOL I am 5′ 8 3/4″, weighed 130 lbs. before pregnancy (was a small size 8/large size 7), and was 220 lbs. when my son was born. I am now usually around 170 lbs., and my son is almost 3.5 years old. I’m a size 13/14. People tell me I look good, but I’m always thinking “but, if you could have seen me BEFORE!” lol
Your son is adorable! Congratulations, and rest assured that you WILL love your body again! :)
I’m so jealous, you look great! I’m 5’4″ and I was 107 before I got pregnant. I weighed 200 when I delivered. I’m almost 8months pp and I’ve lost nearly 60lbs and look terrible!
Keep up the good work
Hang in there. It looks like it was all worth it, you have a beatiful son!! The weight is always the ahtdest to get rid of. I hope you have a loving husband or someone special that reminds you how beautiful you still are. My husband says my physical price for giving us such beautiful children makes me even more sexy. Good luck and hang tuff.
OMG your son is a treasure!
You and I put on around the same amount of weight during pregnancy.
I am down 19pounds at 5months post partum, taking it easy with exercise as I am breastfeeding (and I must confess not being exactly regimented with the volume of food I consume).
I can totally empathise with wanting to fit back into jeans. Hope we both get there soon. But in the meantime I think you look pretty damn good :D
I WISH I Had your tummy
hon u still look great u have a new mom figure and its curvy so what? soo many men think that is sexy!! i am still prego right now im 38 weeks about to deliver.. and my husband actually commented he can see a difference in my shape already and he LIKES it he said he loved me how i was before but the fact that i am carrying our baby boy makes me sexier plus he said i am now a WOMAN not a teenager anymore i had a skinny body flat tummy etc. but no curves .. i am filling out and i am acutally happy about it! embrace it hon u dont look bad at all!
You look fantastic! I have a 3 mths old bub and am a first time Mum. I too am struggling with weight and the evil stretch marks! haha. Give it time, invest a little time in yourself (go for a walk or gym etc) and you will look even more amazing than you already do in no time. You really do look great as you are though!
You already are looking good but you are going to be amazed at yourself by 1 year PP! If you keep working at it you will be in those old jeans in no time.
FYI, I’m in the old jeans and my stomach looks like a tractor rolled over it. I care.
Wow your little cowboy is adorable! I too was 130 before i got pregnant, now at almost 13 month pp I have the same belly you have today. it took me 13 months what you got in 3..you should be proud! :0]
You had me laughing about the tractor comment… BTW, you have a pretty shape.
